Three arrested after search for armed suspect

Three people have been arrested after police searched for an armed suspect on Victoria Park Avenue near Sunrise Avenue in the east end.

A nearby daycare at 1386 Victoria Park Ave. was briefly in hold and secure as a precaution. The children were taken to the parking lot at Clairlea Public School by officers so they could be picked up by their parents.

O’Connor Public School was also briefly in hold and secure.

Const. Wendy Drummond said two men were arrested upon police arrival at the O’Connor Community Centre.

Officials began a search for a third armed suspect.

Police were able to locate the gun a short time later and the third suspect was then arrested inside the building.

The TTC said that 24 Victoria Park buses were diverting southbound via Sunrise, O’Connor Drive and Yardley Avenue because of the police investigation.
